Today's show is all about fire!
There is so much to learn in this episode that I don't even know where to start. How do these devastating wildfires get started? More importantly, how can we prevent them from starting in the first place? With that, why on earth is the Forest Service out there lighting some fires on purpose? Ever drive by a logging project and wonder what's going on? What's all that orange or blue paint is about?
Get the answers to these questions and many more on this episode of the Arizona Wildlife Federation Podcast with guests Alex Fischer of FiredUp Flagstaff and Matt McGrath, District Ranger, of the Forest Service.
